So, you're looking to erase the evidence of countless movie nights, accidental wine spills, and that one time the dog used the cushions as a napkin? Smart move. Getting your sofa professionally cleaned can feel like you've bought a brand-new piece of furniture without the heart-stopping price tag.
On average, you can expect to pay around £100 for a professional sofa clean in the UK. However, that figure is about as vague as a politician's promise. The actual cost can swing from a tidy £50 to a more substantial £200.
The final bill really depends on the star of the show: your sofa. A standard two-seater fabric sofa might only set you back about £60, while its larger three-seater sibling could be around £80. If you have a sprawling L-shaped corner unit that the whole family camps out on, you're likely looking at a cost of about £120.
The material also has its say. A fancy leather sofa typically costs more to clean than a standard fabric one, somewhere in the ballpark of £90. If your sofa is a bit of a diva, dressed in delicate suede or velvet, the special care required could push the price up to £120.
Don't forget the pesky extras. If your sofa has seen more stains than a crime scene, targeted stain removal might add an hourly rate of about £20. To prevent future mishaps, you could opt for a stain protection treatment, which usually costs an extra £20 to £30. Also, be aware that most companies have a minimum call-out fee, often between £50 and £60, so it might be a good idea to get that matching armchair cleaned at the same time.
